Just an aside but it is amazing how much warmer the FL East coast is when you get to W. Palm Beach and points south. For example, tonight the low forecasted by the NWS for Jupiter Island and Ft. Pierce is 41 but for Palm Beach just 30 miles south or so it is 50....the Gulf stream hugs the coast from Palm Beach South through the Keys, hence the reason why it is so much warmer and the SSTs are above normal off the SE coast of FL. Winds tonight will be mostly North.

The Gulf Stream is a normal part of the temperatures and is not an above normal anomaly in itself.. hence the Gulf Stream itself does not make the SSTs warmer than NORMAL because the Gulf Stream is normal. Otherwise the anomaly maps would consitently reflect the gulf stream and that is not the case.
The position of the stream changes but it is overall included in the averages.. and the Gulf Stream always hugs the SE coast as you say..

Looks like SSTs have cooled as I suspected, the warm pocket south of LA is nearly gone due to the last front bringing 30s and 40s to much of the northern and even parts of the Central GOM. Check it out. Tonight is another unseasonably cool night also. Looking fairly normal now. You can see the loop current.
Looks like this map is not completely up-to-date. I am curious when it picks up on this past weekend.

This is the latest update of the anomalies in the Atlantic.Looks somewhat warmer than last weeks update.That cool pocket in the Eastern Atlantic still is there but it's smaller.The GOM is the area with the warmest anomalies.
Does anyone have an conversion from celsius to ferenheit?
some areas in the gulf are 1.0 above normal. What does that convert to in ferenheit?
